In my work context: What experience have I had with e-Learning?
In my current administration job, I have had no exposure to e-learning. All training I have received has been Face to face training and I have also had to learn on the job (Experiential learning).
It would be interesting to see how e-learning could be incorporated into my work situation. As I am currently working for a community services organisation, a lot of e-learning options are not adopted due to the lack of computers, technology and software. Also, if e-learning were to be introduced, many of the older staff would be discouraged from using the technology due to their lack of computer skills.
In my workplace many workers feel discouraged from using computers and many people come to me with questions about things that are very simple. I believe all staff should be offered more formal computer training as some of them struggle when it comes to things such as the simple formatting of documents. I don’t think e-learning could be incorporated at all unless some workers get computer training beforehand.
